For much of the Poconos, the winter storm is all over but the cleanup. So, did it live up to the hype? All depends on where you live. For the southern Poconos, it turned out to be a run-of-the-mill winter weather event. If you live to the north and east, it probably was closer to the monster that forecasters warned about.

For the southern Poconos, it turned out to be a run-of-the-mill winter weather event. If you live to the north and east, it probably was closer to the monster that forecasters warned about.

How were things where you live? Let us know about it.

Some of the worst conditions occurred overnight, with snow and winds combining to produce 3-foot snow drifts in parts of western Monroe County. The snow continued to pile deep into Pike County, which was hardest hit.

Once again, numerous government offices and businesses are closed, as are the schools, meaning some students are getting a five-day weekend.

Mail delivery and collection is suspended today in parts of the Poconos. The sporting events scheduled for today, including the District 11 wrestling tournament and basketball playoffs, have all been rescheduled.

Despite the warnings about the high winds, Met Ed and PPL have reported only scattered power outages.

Now that the storm is over, we want your photos of fun in the snow. Send them to us for a chance to win tickets to Camelback Ski Area.
